I'm Kelli on behalf of expert villag. I'm going to show you how to brighten and lift your eye area. Now I'm going to apply some cream to the eye area. We have chose a gel cream for her. She is not excessively dry around that area and this particular eye cream has some really good vitamins in there. It has vitamins A,C and E which are really great antioxidants. They really help to neutralize any free radical avengers and help to neutralize any environmental damage. Also, vitamin C helps stimulate collagen and elastic reproduction so it will help to relax and fill in any fine lines. Vitamin C will also brighten the inner eye area and neutralize any dark circles. When you apply your eye cream, you want to use your ring finger. This exhibits the least amount of force on your eye area. You never want to pull or rub your eye area. The skin is so thin and so delicate that when you pull too hard or rub too hard, it actually tear your collagen and elastic fibers and will lead to fine lines and wrinkles. So you just want to use your ring finger and pat around the orbital bone. You can feel it is the bone that goes around the eye socket. You want to pat all the way around gently. Patting also helps to aid in your absorption so it will go in a lot quicker so you won't have to wait too long for it to penetrate. You also want to make sure that you don't use too much eye cream. If you do use too much, your skin can only absorb so much moisture. You only want to use a pea sized amount and that is enough for both eyes.
